oops sorry corrected it * but still i only get is the paging number not the data, nothing is displaying from article table

There are dozens of potential and actual problems in your code, so you'll have to be a lot more specific. Check your PHP error log. Use var_dump() to analyze the behavior of your program. Where exactly do things go wrong?

 

Your code contains the check

if(is_resource($result))
{
    ...
}

But $result is an array, and it's completely unrelated to the query at hand. I assume that's a leftover from your old code.

in error logs i find nothing related to this but yes i found this

 

yes that is_resource($result) is previous code how on earth i deal with the pagination without that?
